Chimera Sphinx

The Chimera Sphinx puts the Rhyos to shame, featuring the same basic two attacks, but at much higher levels. Bad Breath 10 is a serious threat to anyone not resistant to Matter, and Blaze 16 will do plenty of damage to those not resistant to Fire. Chimera Sphinxes lack defense and magic defense though, and can be defeated fairly easily.
